Everyone's lives are interesting right? So, why not tell you about mine? Well, I'll hopefully be continuing this Diary for a while. Maybe until after college if I go?? ^^' Well, to begin with I'm a fourteen-year-old girl, living in this messed up world. My name, Alex. Age, already told you. Weight, over 150 pounds... Erm, what else, oh and I don't know what I'm going to do with my future. So, have fun reading my strange thoughts. Since we don't know what the future holds, let go with this story being a Mystery.
A criminal mastermind makes a bold move against a wealthy client to put himself in a position to retire in comfort. He has no idea what he's up against when a young widow, desperate to make ends meet, sets her eyes on earning the bounty set on his head.

When the sweet innocence of the Scott family clashes against criminal forces more dangerous than they ever imagined, Melody is all too aware that a mom's got to do what a mom's got to do to protect her family.
